Exterior view of the Fick's carriage shop in Blackhawk, Colorado. It is a single, two story, rectangular structure with three bays on the ground floor and three on the second floor. On the first floor, two windows flank the main loading door, which is double wide. Likewise on the second floor, where two windows flank another large loading opening. The blacksmith and carriage shop once located here did a thriving business until the advent of the automobile. The advertisement for Bull Durham tobacco, painted by one of four sign painting crews that traveled throughout the country promoting Bull Durham smoking tobacco, reads: "Genuine Bull Durham, 44, the old reliable, Smoking Tobacco". In front of the building, a pickup truck and man are visible on Main St.
